Last Day in Canyonlands (Day 16)

4 September.

Last day in Canyonlands. Checked out Mesa arch early in the a.m after packing everything up. Thought about doing one last long hike but it was now Saturday and the weekend warriors had started making an appearance. Our cue to get the hell outta dodge.

We drove to Grand Junction, Colorado and stayed in a motel. It had been I think 10 days since I last bathed at this point. Hmmmm you say? Yeah, it got pretty ugly but whatever. Doing laundry was kind of necessary at this point as well. Gorged on about 15 pounds of veggie sushi later on. Damn skippy!

Hi Jill -- I love Canyonlands. Great pictures. And the sushi sounds pretty great too ;>). We like to stay home on weekends and explore during the week too -- just because we can now that we're old and retired. But I think our speed is more like those weekend warriors than like yours! (We'll stay out of the way if we ever cross paths on a Tuesday or whatever ;>)

Hard to put up with people when you had it all to yourselves.I would have driven out to a watering spot. I take a plastic milk case just to sit on under a pump.Have you ever taken a mud bath?As long as it is clean smelling it works.I really like the mud peeling, it looks like a flower.
